Excuses
Coach Dave Hall's collection of
20 most-used excuses for missing
Thursday training in 1982 were:
1. "I’ll be working late and won't
finish 'till 6." (Didn't turn up at all).
2. "I'll be working until 5:30." (Arrived 7:30).
3. "I have the 'flu." (But was OK on
Saturday).
4. "I have a heavy cold" (But turned
up for a game on Saturday).
5. "I have friends calling in."
6. "My mate from the South Island may
be calling in."
7. ."I feel over-trained but will be fine on
Saturday."
8. "I have no transport" (Didn't ask for
help).
9. Wants a night out.
10. Wants a night in.
11. Wants an early night (Seen in the pub
at lOpm).
12. Got a bad leg. (Will be OK Saturday).
13. Got a bad back. (Will be OK Saturday).
14. Got a headache.
15. Will be playing social basketball.
16. Will be playing social squash.
17. "Training's not worth it"
18. "I'm not getting fit" (After three
sessions).
19. "I've got a birthday on." (Not wanting
to shout at the club).
20. "I haven't come to train. I just
want a chat with you."
Musical Cars
Dave Hall's car radio speakers
are unique. When turning left the right
speak.er cuts out and the left goes on
the blink when turning right! When Dave
puts the brakes on they both switch off!
Valuable Sub’s
Of the 26 substitutes to warm the
bench in the first 13 games of the NL season
18 were used and 7 won the game for the
team!
Dave Hall Packet System
Senior Coach Dave hall has a
rating system for each of the games
his senior side plays. The greater the
number of emptied cigarette packets
around his feet after the match
indicates a poorer on-field display by
the team.
In the 13 pre-season matches,
including Country Foods Cup games,
the tally of packets was: University (I),
Onehunga-Mangere (4), Huntly (6),
Waiuku (4), Rotorua Suburbs (4), Taupo
(4), Mt Maunganui (3), Tauranga City (2),
Wanderers (5), Onehunga-Mangere
again (4), Unicol (5), Mt Maunganui
again (3) and Auckland University (3).
